Eighteen male patients and 10 female patients with Bt.Behccedil;et's disease were addressed to study the influences of sex factor on Behccedil;et's disease. It was found that recurrences of uveitis were more frequent in malepatients than in females,and that male patients were worse than females in prognosis due to the high severity of retinal vasculitis and the low sensitivity to treatment.It is pressumed that the sex hormone may, at least in part,contribute to the diffrenees between the male and female patients. （Chin J Ocul Fundus Dis,1994,10:143-145）
ObjectiveTo determine the retinal thickness of normal children 3-6 years old and its relationship with the age and gender. MethodsIn a cross-sectional study, 480 eyes of 240 normal preschool children including 115 male and 125 female, ages 3 to 6 years in the urban of Beijing, China were included. The average age was (4.93±0.77) years old. The visual acuity, slit-lamp microscopy and frequency domain optical coherence tomography (FD-OCT, Optvue, Inc. USA) were examined. The retinal thickness of the macular fovea and 500, 750, 1500 μm from temporal and nasal side around the fovea were measured. 32 eyes were excluded from the study because they couldn't cooperate. Pearson correlation analysis was used to determine the correlation between age and macular retinal thickness. Independent samples group t-test was used to compare the differences between boys and girls. ResultsThe mean thickness of macular fovea was (169.10±20.587) μm. The mean macular thickness of boys was significantly higher than girls (t=-4.549, -6.167, -5.492, -5.163, -6.749, -7.494, -6.874; P≤0.001). The mean thickness of 500 μm and 750 μm from nasal side of macular fovea were significantly higher than temporal side (t=5.594, 15.778, 7.678, 18.180; P < 0.001). There was no significant relevance between macular thickness and age. ConclusionsThe mean macular thickness of boys is significantly higher than girls in normal children in the urban of Beijing. There is no significant relevance between macular thickness and age.
Objective To explore the correlation between gender and long-term prognosis of patients with type-B acute aortic dissection (AAD) after endovascular therapy (EVT). Methods From January to December 2012, all patients with type-B AAD undergoing EVT were enrolled by retrospective and observational study. They were divided into male and female groups. Kaplan-Meier analysis was used to analyze the correlation between gender and the cumulative survival rate. Results A total of 131 tyep-B AAD patients who had undergone EVT were selected, including 97 males (74.0%), and 34 females (26.0%). The medium follow-up duration was 2.1 years. Smoking history, cholesterol, white blood cell count, hemoglobin, creatinine and uric acid of the patients in males were higher than those in females (P<0.05); while the difference in other indexes were not significant (P>0.05). The inhospital mortality of male patients was 10 (10.3%), and was 3 (8.8%) in female patients; there was no significant difference between the two groups (P=0.803). Kaplan-Meier analysis showed that there was no significant difference in cumulative survival rate between the two groups (84.5% vs. 82.4%; Logrank test χ2=0.023, P=0.880). Conclusion No correlation between gender and long-term prognosis in patients with type-B AAD after EVT is found.
Objective To explore the impact of gender difference in 90-day outcomes after mechanical thrombectomy for acute cerebral infarction. Methods A prospective registration, observational, and retrospective analysis study was carried out. Patients with acute cerebral infarction who were admitted to the Department of Neurology of the First Affiliated Hospital of Chengdu Medical College and the Department of Neurology of Nanjing First Hospital between June 2015 and June 2019 were collected. Patients were divided into two groups based on gender. The detailed demographic, laboratory examination, imaging examination and clinical data were collected. Then, the data were analyzed using univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses. Results A total of 298 patients were included. Among them, there were 185 males and 113 females. The differences in age, smoking, atrial fibrillation, using antiplatelet drugs before stroke, TOAST classification, and involved cerebrovascular sites between the two groups were statistically significant (P<0.05), and there was no statistically significant difference in other baseline data between the two groups (P>0.05). The results of univariate logistic regression analysis showed that the rate of 90-day favourable outcome of female patients was lower than that of male patients [odds ratio (OR)=0.462, 95% confidence interval (CI) (0.275, 0.775), P=0.030]. The results of multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that, after adjusting for confounding factors, there was no independent correlation between gender and the 90-day favourable outcome of patients with acute cerebral infarction who underwent mechanical thrombectomy [OR=1.511, 95% CI (0.745, 3.066), P=0.253]. Conclusion The gender has no significant effect on the 90-day favourable outcome of acute cerebral infarction patients treated with mechanical thrombectomy.
The incidence of chronic kidney disease is increasing worldwide, which greatly increases the risk of end-stage renal disease. It is particularly important to find out the risk factors for the development and progression of chronic kidney disease. Whether gender is a risk factor for the progression of kidney disease remains controversial with inconsistent results in human cohort studies with diabetic or non-diabetic kidney disease. In most of the studies, women seem to exhibit certain gender advantages. Sex hormones, renal hemodynamics and lifestyle differences may play an important role. The underlying mechanism of gender affecting the progression of kidney disease deserves further exploration. This article reviews the gender differences and possible mechanisms in diabetic and non-diabetic chronic kidney disease, in order to provide reference for future research.
ObjectiveTo summarize the research progress of the design and effectiveness of gender-specific prosthesis in total knee arthroplasty (TKA). MethodsThe relevant literature on gender-specific prosthesis in recent years was extensively reviewed and analyzed. ResultsGender-specific prosthesis is designed according to the female knee joint anatomical characteristics. In theory, it should obtain better effectiveness. But a large number of clinical studies have shown that the knee function, pain, and satisfaction has no obvious advantage when compared with conventional prosthesis after TKA for female patient. ConclusionComprehensive evaluation should be considered when gender-specific is selected; and the effectiveness needs further follow-up.
Objective To investigate the difference in first onset age, family history and medication compliance between male and female patients with schizophrenia in communities. Methods We used self-designed questionnaire to survey and analyze 372 cases of schizophrenia between June to August 2014. Results There were no significant differences between male and female schizophrenic patients in the family history, personality before the disease, education level, age, and the onset type and disease course (P > 0.05). The first onset age of male patients [(24.92±8.22) years] was significantly earlier than female patients [(27.02±11.28) years] and the difference was statistically significant (P < 0.05). The number of unmarried male patients (115, 58.97%) was significantly more than unmarried females (81, 45.76%) and the difference was statistically significant (P < 0.05). The full medication compliance rate of female patients (127, 71.75%) was significantly better than that of male patients (115, 58.97%) (P < 0.05). Conclusion The first onset age, marital status and medication compliance are significantly different between the two genders of patients with schizophrenia, which indicates that prevention, treatment and recovery measures for male and female patients should be differentiated.
ObjectiveTo compared weight loss and metabolic improvement effects of laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) in treatment of obese males and females. MethodsAccording to the inclusion and exclusion criteria, the obese patients were retrospectively collected, who underwent LSG from January 2020 to June 2021 in the Affiliated Hospital of Xuzhou Medical University, and there were complete preoperative data and postoperative follow-up data at month 1, 3, 6, and 12. The weight loss and metabolic improvement effects of obese males and females were compared, as well as the remissions of diabetes and hyperlipidemia at the 12th month after surgery were observed. ResultsA total of 129 eligible obese patients were included, including 44 obese males and 85 obese females. The preoperative body mass index (BMI), fasting blood glucose (FBG) level, and insulin level of the obese males were higher than those of the obese females (P<0.05). ① Weight loss effect after LSG: For both obese males and females, the change value (Δ) of BMI (all change values of the indexes were the difference between preoperative and postoperative value in this study), the percentage of excess body weight loss (EWL%), and percentage of total body weight loss showed continuous upward trends within the observation time range (P<0.05). And it was found that the obese males’ ΔBMI was higher than that of the obese females at the 1st and 3rd month after surgery (P<0.05), and the EWL% of the obese males was lower than that of the obese females at the 3rd, 6th, and 12th month after operation (P<0.05). ② Metabolic improvement effect after LSG: Blood glucose and lipid metabolism indicators in both male and female patients（ΔFBG, ΔINS, ΔHbA1c, ΔTC and ΔTG) changed the fastest at 1 month after operation, and the change became flat after 3 months, except for males ΔTC index (P>0.05), the overall difference between male and female patients at each time point after operation was statistically significant (P<0.05). After operation, the ΔFBG (at the 1st, 3rd, 6th, and 12th month) and Δinsulin (at the 3rd, 6th, and 12th month) in the obese males were higher than those in the obese females (P<0.05). The remission rates of diabetes and hyperlipidemia in the obese males and females at the 12th month after surgery were both higher, but there was no significant difference between the two groups [64.7% (11/17) versus 81.0% (17/21), χ2=0.578, P=0.447; 73.9% (17/23) versus 84.4% (27/32), χ2=0.378, P=0.539]. ConclusionsFrom the results of this study, LSG is an effective method in treatment of obesity and its complications for both males and females. Bariatric surgery should be suggested to perform as soon as possible for obese males with poor metabolic status.
